Combining a theoretical overview with empirical evidence, this textbook analyses and compares nationalism in Western and Eastern Europe. Split into three parts, it first discusses a wide variety of theoretical perspectives, including the controversial issue of theoretical dichotomy (civic versus ethnic nationalism). The second part argues variously that nationalism is an ideology, a social movement and an attitude, and applies these to sub-state and central-state nationalism. The final part looks at European nationalism in practice, offering new empirical findings from both in-depth single country cases and cross-country comparisons. Based on findings from Western and Eastern Europe countries including Britain, Sweden, Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Latvia Uses the growing body of research to challenge previously accepted theories of nationalism Includes a critical assessment of the literature in the field
